Earnings Reports Due From Shopify, Facebook and McDonald's
BlackBull Markets | Jul 27, 2021 10:08PM ET
Wednesday’s focus is on McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Shopify (NYSE:SHOP).
As these earning reports are coming in halfway through the week, it would be interesting to note each company’s stock price movements since Monday. Investors can be fickle, and last-minute adjustments may be seen in these trendy household names.
McDonald’s breaks out of its range in time for earning report
h5Investors have been upsizing their orders for McDonald’s stock in the past week and a half. The price movement is in stark contrast to the ranging the stock has experienced since May. The price of MCD has grown from a 4-month low of ~$226 up to an all-time high of ~$246. In the two days of this week, investors are dieting, and the price growth has slowed. On Tuesday trading, McDonald’s stock rose 0.99% and then an additional 0.11% in after-hours.
McDonald’s is anticipated to report revenue of $5.6B before the bell on Wednesday. Investors expect the company to continue recovering its sales, a trend suggested in the company’s last quarterly report. There has been no indication that this might not be so. The only great barrier to the company’s recovery is the Delta variant of Covid spreading in America. Although, this concern is too recent to have likely interfered with McDonald’s 2Q report.
/h5 h5 Does Facebook have enough room to move upwards after a positive earning report?
Now, looking at Facebooks share price movement in the same calendar period as McDonald’s paints a slightly different picture. Last week was kind to FB, with a 4% price jump occurring on the final day, closing the stock at $374.88. Investors appear to believe that this last jump was a little too ambitious and has since retraced to $367.80. Although, it is safely above the 23.6% Fib level.
At the close of Wednesday trading, Facebook is expected to report revenue of $27.9B. Bear in mind, Facebook’s peers have all beat their earnings forecasts this week and last, and the market would hardly be surprised if it were to follow suit. However, the positive news may not translate to a lift in share price. This is a misfortune that befell Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) on Tuesday after its earnings report came back exceedingly positive. In after-hours trading, APPL was trading down 2.1%. Perhaps FB slight retracement on Tuesday will mean there is room for growth if Facebook massively beats its estimate.
